Nudgee Beach may be the closest beach to Brisbane city that is dedicated to pooches but there are quite a few options further afield for feeling the sand between their paws. Our absolute favorite (and our dog's) is Palm Beach on the Gold Coast. Coolum's dog beach is a close second but they are all really worth the drive!

Lucky canines on the southside don't need to travel too far for a paddle and a play with Colmslie Recreation Reserve (not to be confused with Colmslie Beach Reserve) in Morningside providing both a beach and off-leash dog park.
